That’s a question I get a lot when people read or hear about my game, the USS Chuck Norris, as it’s quite different from most other sims out there. But before I answer that question, I should first explain what the Chuck Norris is to set up the proper context.

The USS Chuck Norris is a play-by-email sim, but we use the NOVA system from Anodyne Productions that came out a few years ago. Play-by-post seems to be the most popular term today for this type of game. We launched on January 2nd, 2012, and are a member of Independence Fleet. There are currently 16 active players on the Chuck Norris, and many have been with us for more than a year. Although, we also have quite a few players that have been simming for less than six months.
